Dental nurses celebrate NORDEC's first birthday

​A year after opening, it is all smiles at the Northern Dental Education Centre (NORDEC) in Bradford, West Yorkshire.

The state-of-the-art dental training and education facility at Bradford College is celebrating a successful first year of teaching dentistry courses, primarily to apprentice and trainee dental nurses.

The centre, which was officially opened by Judith Cummins MP last September, has plenty to grin about too, having welcomed in three cohorts of dental nursing apprentices and seen its first group of level 2 students record a 100% pass rate for the Technical Certificate in Working in Dental Settings.

Eve Massaad, NORDEC Centre Manager, said: 'Over the course of the first 12 months, there has been great focus placed on community outreach with regards to increasing public awareness of oral health within our local community. A number of events have been introduced in order to both encourage and improve oral health within the Bradford community. Events and incentives have been run with the aim of encouraging the youth of Bradford into the various career pathways available within the dentistry sector.'
